Re: Heresay Objection
1.) Hearsay
2,) The testifyer can testify as to what he himself uttered in these telephonic conversations but he could not recount what the other party said
or stated and who was not in the courtroom since this again would likely qualify as hearsay and therefore subject to objection.
